Super Fusion

Chapter 48: An earthquake, An

When the spiritual energy within a radius of several thousand meters was ignited by Xu Yu's own spiritual energy, Xu Yu, who was practicing the Void Step technique performed by the figure in the secret manual space, suddenly felt that the spiritual energy in his mind was about to disappear.

This trend startled him.

"What's going on? One unit of spiritual energy should last for more than ten seconds, but now it's not even two or three seconds..." In extreme surprise and doubt, Xu Yu didn't bother to think about the reason and immediately summoned another unit of spiritual energy and merged it into himself.

Almost as soon as the new spiritual energy began to merge, the previous unit of spiritual energy also completely dissipated, and the two were perfectly connected again.

"Could it be because the power of the Heavenly Profound level innate martial arts is too great, so it requires more spiritual energy to merge?" It was only at this moment that a thought flashed through Xu Yu's mind, and while thinking, he took the second step.

“Buzz~”

Just as Xu Yu began to merge, Lin Yan and Lin Zhongzhi, with strange expressions and a half-smile, had only walked a few dozen meters from the villa.

In their hearts, they could only wait for Xu Yu to realize that cultivators were fundamentally unsuitable for martial arts, so that he would give up on his own.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a muffled hum suddenly arose from around them, and then the previously dormant spiritual energy around them suddenly stirred.

Like a tidal wave, it roared past them and surged towards the villa dozens of meters away.

In an instant, the father and son, who had been looking at each other strangely, were both stunned.

“Spiritual energy?”

“It really is spiritual energy, flowing towards him! He’s gathering spiritual energy!!”

In their stunned state, the father and son exchanged a glance, and the same thought flashed through their minds: the other party indeed had the ability to gather spiritual energy!! This was simply wonderful! Lin Yan was so excited he trembled all over.

But it was only for a moment. Lin Yan's excited body suddenly trembled again, and his face turned pale. "He's gathering spiritual energy. This is a celestial technique, but even if he gathers spiritual energy, with his immortal body, he still can't learn a Heavenly Profound level martial art!"

"Yes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. What if he gets angry later..." Lin Zhongzhi immediately thought of the same thing and looked directly at Lin Yan.

It seemed that the other party was really tempted by the Void Stepping Technique

. But even if he could gather spiritual energy, so what? To learn the Void Stepping Technique in modern times was extremely difficult. First, one needed abundant spiritual energy, then the cultivation level of a martial artist, and several years, even more than ten years, of careful study and comprehension...

Thinking of Xu Yu's failure, Lin Yan and his son fell silent again.

But just then, a slight tremor suddenly rose from the ground beneath their feet.

The shaking, initially so faint that an ordinary person wouldn't even notice it, was clearly discernible to both of them. But before

they could fully register it, the shaking intensified dramatically.

In a mere instant, the initially barely perceptible tremor escalated to a point where Lin Zhongzhi's upper body swayed, nearly sliding to one side.

Simultaneously, everything around them—the sky, the ground, the houses, the flowers, the trees, the birds, the insects—went completely berserk, all trembling slightly.

"Oh no! An earthquake!!"

"How could there be a sudden earthquake? Run!!"

Even though these two were renowned figures, masters of their craft, they were visibly shaken by the sheer power of nature. Their minds went blank for a moment, and they shot towards the open lawn in the courtyard.

Inside another detached villa of the Lin family.

A man with a swollen face and covered in bruises, whose features were barely discernible, sat listlessly at a computer desk in a bedroom, playing a game.

"Damn it, Xu Yu! That bastard! He's so strong, why didn't he say so earlier? Now I've not only been beaten to a pulp, but also grounded..."

This young man was none other than Lin Dongjie, the one Xu Yu had previously slapped into a bloody mess. Now, he could only stay in his room, not daring to step outside.

Even if Lin Zhongzhi had lifted his grounds, given his current appearance, he probably wouldn't dare go out anyway. Therefore, Lin Dongjie's anger towards Xu Yu had reached an unprecedented level. But even so, he could only swallow his anger. After all, this man was someone even his grandfather respected greatly; having messed with such a guy, he could only accept his bad luck.

However, Lin Dongjie had his own way of venting. He deftly manipulated the mouse and keyboard, his face, which was usually swollen, now beaming with excitement.

At that moment, the computer screen displayed a violently beautiful online game. Watching his character relentlessly s*******r monsters, Lin Dongjie felt an exhilarating satisfaction, as if he were beating up Xu Yu; every pore on his body seemed to tingle with elation.

But just as he was getting into the swing of things, the stagnant spiritual energy around him suddenly became active, flowing outwards. This sudden change made Lin Dongjie freeze. What was happening?

Before he could continue to wonder, the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, and then the tremor quickly became more pronounced.

A glass of wine on the table suddenly rippled violently, and at the same time, all the other furnishings—the bed, the chairs, and even himself—began to shake.

"Holy crap! An earthquake?!"

Startled, Lin Dongjie forgot all about the game and screamed in terror, fleeing for his life.

An earthquake? An earthquake!!

Not only Lin Yan, Lin Zhongzhi, and Lin Dongjie, but almost everyone in the entire Lin family compound was awakened at the same time by the sudden tremor, and they all fled in extreme panic.

This was an earthquake!

Even if many of them were martial arts experts, what could they do? Faced with such terrifying power, there was no choice but to run.

The vast Lin family mansion was completely thrown into chaos, and occasionally, screams of terror, almost weeping, could be heard from certain places.

But at that moment, none of those caught in the earthquake knew that outside the Lin family mansion, even on the streets beyond the walls, everything remained quiet and peaceful, a stable scene where not even the tree branches swayed...
